In Western universities and board rooms, souls are cheap. But Jimmy Lai's is not.In Hong Kong right now, Jimmy Lai is sacrificing all — his fortune and possibly his life — for his God, his fellow man, and for freedom.Lai is a billionaire, although he wasn’t always one. Born two years before the Communists defeated the nationalists in China’s civil war, his father fled and his mother was sent to a labor camp when he was a young child. Carrying bags for train passengers and getting by as a street vendor, he first tasted freedom when a man from British...

Thanks for joining our study. Today we explore the biblical basis for the common phrase “good Samaritan.” Most likely, you have heard the words used to describe someone who unexpectedly helps a stranger in their time of need. However, unless you are a Bible reader, you might not know that the phrase is based on a parable (teaching story) told by Jesus. Therefore, we will read the verses to garner an understanding of the context and broader meaning of the Good Samaritan found only in the Gospel of Luke (10:25-37). The story begins: "On one occasion an expert in the...

I died on March 14th, 1999. It was a Sunday and I was just two months shy of my 39th birthday. I grew up in a small town, with normal people. Nothing ‘fantastical’ ever really happened to me. I was ordinary, unknown, and just part of the anonymous unwashed masses residing in flyover-country USA. I thought I had lived a good life. I wasn’t a “saint,” but I wasn’t “evil” either, or doing what I thought evil people did; like killing, raping, or robbing people. I went to church most weeks. I worked hard at a good job, took care...

Source: Myra AdamsThanks for joining us as we conclude our two-part study about what the Bible says about water. Last week we covered the Old Testament and now the New. If you missed last week’s study, please read it first since the New Testament’s verses are grounded in the Old. However, before diving in, a message from our sponsor John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park in Key Largo, Florida. (Just kidding about the sponsor, but the message is on topic.) At the “park,” six miles offshore and submerged in 25 feet of water, is a 4,000 pound, 8.5-foot tall, bronze...

Thanks for joining our Bible study. The headline teases a miraculous occurrence on the “road to Damascus” that changed the world. Later, the phrase was incorporated into our language. Here is the background.A Jewish scholar named Saul was persecuting Jewish followers of Jesus Christ. But Jesus intervened (as only He can). He unleashed His heavenly power on Saul, who converted to believing that Jesus was Lord. Saul, who was renamed “Paul,” traveled extensively in the name of Jesus, enduring suffering, hardship, and martyrdom.Paul’s prolific writings formed much of the New Testament. His impact on Christianity evolving into the world’s largest...

Left-wing actress Rosanna Arquette imagined what it would be like if Jesus were walking around in modern-day America and concluded he would be “murdered by police officers because of the color of his skin.” “If Jesus were alive today he’d be murdered by police officers because of the color of his skin,” the Pulp Fiction star said in a tweet to her 188k Twitter followers on Wednesday.

As His Second Coming approached, Jesus taught, “many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many” (Matthew 24:11; all references KJV). That has certainly come to pass. We have had many false secular prophets over the past two hundred years or so, from Marx to Freud to Foucault, whose toxic, dehumanizing ideas have alienated people from God and led to much human pain, suffering, and death. Indeed, they have deceived many. The most dangerous false prophets, however, are those who wrap themselves in the cloak of religion, who “come to [us] in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravening wolves” (Matthew...

Isaiah 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as woolWWII U.S. Army Officer and California Berkeley professor emeritus Irving Janis spent 50 years studying why groups of intelligent, knowledgeable people sometimes make very poor decisions. He coined the term, Groupthink: a detrimental psychological condition and practice of reasoning / decision-making that afflicts groups. It is characterized by uncritical acceptance or conformity to prevailing points of view where members of the group suspend reasoning faculties...

Due to the “clickbait” headline, some readers might accuse me of denigrating Jesus by equating Our Risen Lord to a rock star. Well… He is a rock star! Jesus rose from the rock tomb and stars forever on earth and in heaven. For the earth part, I recommend reading “What If Jesus Had Never Been Born?” for an in-depth understanding of the miraculous impact Jesus had (has) on humankind.Moreover, the headline ties into this Bible study's mission to attract readers unfamiliar with the Bible (or who have fallen away). And, on any given Sunday while surfing this popular secular political...

Flowers are springing up, birds are singing, and all around us, we sense that we’re finally crawling out of the gloom of the deadly global pandemic. We have lost loved ones, income, businesses, and education. What seems certain is that we will never truly recover. But is it actually certain? Or is that just today’s headline, and there’s more to the story? The power of Easter is the power of resurrection. Resurrection means the triumph of life over death. Because of the miracle of Easter, we have a promise, and the power, of resurrection life. No headline was gloomier 2000...

We live in a dark hour of human history. The COVID-19 pandemic demands we distinguish between that which is essential and that which is not. With that being said, I am reminded that more than 2,000 years ago, a woman named Mary ran, while it was still dark, towards an empty tomb. She ran not when things were pristine or perfect. She ran while things were still dark. It's what we do in the darkest hour that truly defines us. The darkness of depression cannot impede us from running towards the empty tomb of joy. The darkness of despair cannot...
